President Volodymyr Zelenskyy expressed his belief that Ukraine will pass all the necessary laws and carry out all the reforms important for obtaining full membership in the European Union. But it will happen in order of priority. The Head of State said this during a conversation with media representatives following the negotiations with Norwegian Prime Minister Jonas Gahr Støre in Kyiv.

Head of the Office of the President of Ukraine Andriy Yermak emphasizes that our state should get its own effective security model, taking into account all available experience, and these guarantees should be reliable and legally flawless.

President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelenskyy held a meeting with Norwegian Prime Minister Jonas Gahr Støre who arrived in our country on a visit.

Andriy Yermak noted in his speech that the unprecedented task of this group is to develop effective comprehensive security guarantees for Ukraine, which would protect it from new potential aggression from Russia.

President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelenskyy met with former Secretary General of NATO, Head of the Rasmussen Global Foundation Anders Fogh Rasmussen who arrived in Kyiv to participate in the first meeting of the Working Expert Group on International Security Guarantees for Ukraine.

Ukraine needs effective guarantees to deter future aggression from Russia - military, political, diplomatic, institutional, financial, etc. These guarantees must be included in legally binding and duly ratified international agreements with guarantor states.

“Today, we are signing a joint statement, which is a signal of the unity of all branches of government and evidence of our determination to achieve the strategic goal of Ukraine, namely: full membership in the European Union. And signing this statement should mean the same as signing the application for entry - on the fifth day of the war,” the President said.
